Catherine Mariotte

The law firm Gebauer Stein Rechtsanwälte Avocats PartGmbB emerged in 2015 from the merger of the two partners Ralf Gebauer (Hamburg) and Oliver Stein (Strasbourg). At that time, both lawyers, who are originally from Germany, already had many years of experience in assisting both German and German-speaking clients in French law as well as French and Francophone clients in German law, although the majority of their work to date has been in assisting foreign clients in French law.

With its current team of four lawyers, the firm is mainly focused on advising in the areas of commercial and customs law, corporate law as well as tax and insurance law. 99% of its clients have a foreign connection: international law is therefore the firm’s daily business.

The firm's international orientation goes hand in hand with its international network. In this respect, membership of IR Global is another important step in Gebauer Stein's development.

After working as a corporate lawyer for several years, Catherine joined Oliver's firm in 2009, where she has since been responsible for the commercial and distribution law department.

Admitted to the French Bar, a significant part of her practice also involves representing our clients in construction and warranty disputes.

Catherine is German-French and as such a true connoisseur of the cultural differences between the two countries - a quality which predestines her for negotiations between German and French business partners.

Catherine is a member of the German-French Lawyers Association.
